There are a number of question marks over the Queensland side for next week's second State of Origin game, but Jacob Lillyman is targeting the one spot he knows is vacant.

The Warriors prop will join the Maroons in camp today as part of an inflated 22-man squad that has a number of injury clouds hanging over it.

But among the uncertainty Lillyman said, with Daly Cherry-Evans definitely moving off the bench, he will be eyeing the vacant place.

"He's obviously in the starting side, so there's a position there, I guess, automatically. So I'm not too sure what's going to happen yet, so we'll just play the waiting game."

Lillyman thought Queensland lacked muscle in game one and, as a result, the available bench place will probably go to a forward.

"We'll have to wait and see, but you know in a tough game like it's going to be - it's going to be bash and barge up the middle, you'd think that an extra forward would be handy.

"Just in the wash-up of game one, they thought they could use an extra middle forward there or a forward just to help out with getting up the field. I've got a feeling that's the way they'll want to go."

Meanwhile the same two men that refereed the opening game will hold the whistles in game two. Shayne Hayne and Ben Cummins have again been appointed the two referees.
